Instant Facelift...

... for your mirror, that is.

I came across a company today that I thought I'd share with you all real quick. It's called MirrorMate, and what they have to offer is worth checking out. You would be amazed how one frame can transform an entire bathroom, and MirrorMate's custom frames make this possible in a matter of minutes. It's all done for an incredible price, too.

These aren't traditional frames; You don't take your mirror down and put it in the frame like you would think. Instead, you simply affix the frame onto the front of your existing mirror. You can visit their website for more information and to watch a video on exactly how it works. Prices range from around $140-$220 which is a significant savings from what you would pay for other framed mirror solutions.

Check out these before & after photos to see the dramatic transformation I'm talking about:

Home Tour: NFL Kicker, Shayne Graham

I recently visited the home of Bengals Kicker Shayne Graham for a tour of his 3 story condo located along the Ohio River in downtown Cincinnati. He purchased this beautiful home a couple years ago and because it was new construction he was able to make alot of the design decisions himself. I was impressed by his choices; He has a good eye for design and great taste.

The kitchen was my personal favorite. It is very elegant, and classy; a great setting for entertaining or unwinding after a long day. The walls of the office and game room display various keepsakes from his successful career in football, both in college and the NFL. I think everyone will appreciate his two walk-in closets with built in shelving for his shoe collection, which you will see in the photos below. All-in-all, Shayne's home consists of two bedrooms, an office/gym, kitchen, living room, dining room, elevator, theater room, game room, and a note-worthy garage to house his red Bentley.
